Showing off my latest project (Movie)

Many of you other than Todd Shogun probably wont remember me. But I am still a huge Stan Sakai/Usagi Yojimbo fan and have been since the days of Albedo.

With Further Confusion's theme this year being "The Fur East", a bunch of friends and I finally got to do what I've wanted to do for years!

Yes, We shot a Samurai movie in tribute to Stan, Akira Kuruasowa, and Toshiro Mifune. We did this over a 4 month period and it will Premiere on Sunday night during the Furry Night Live show.

I was involved with just about every facet of this production. From writing the script to editing the footage. Oh yea, I built my fursuit too within those 4 months. We filmed a lot of the movie at Hakone Gardens in Saratoga California. Known as one of the places "Memoirs of a Geshia was filmed.

If you are coming to FC please look for it, if not then I will announce when it is released on You tube

PS. I'm the cat to the hero's right. I'm also the bad guy! I had a lot of fun trying to bring out my inner Genosuke at times.

"The Fur East?" And I wasn't invited?

Good luck with your film, Dusty. I'll look forward to seeing it on youtube. The poster looks great.

If I remember correctly, Dusty had, at one time, one of the coolest jobs in the world--he was a Zamboni driver.

Yup! I did drive that Zamboni but that was years ago. I went on to make Harley parts with a catalog company, then I worked for a company that did Wi-Fi installations in city wide networks. Yea, I was on the end of a bucket truck arm putting wireless equipment on light poles.

You, Sensei, will be getting a DVD copy of your own and a signed poster from the crew. We will be re-editing the footage after the show to come up with a blooper reel and some commentary to put to it. I will just need your address to send it to after we are done. I used to have it many years ago but I think I lost it a few moves ago. Never used it as I did not want to be a pest.

I really wish you could be here to see it at the premiere.

The short is just under 10 minutes long, so plenty of room for the fun stuff.
